SHAVING COMPACT.

Application filed March 1 1927, Serial No. 175,120. Renewed September 4,1928.

The object of this invention is, to provide a small, convenient andartistic razor compact r shaving kit, which is designed to form acompanion piece to the manicure set shown in Letters Patent of theUnited States, No. 1,609A43, granted to me on the 7th day of December,1926; also as a companion piece to the beauty compacts shown anddescribed in co-pending applications for pat- 1O ents Serial Nos 156,811and 156,812.

The construction of my improved shavingcompact is clearly shown in theaccompanying drawings in which.

Fig. 1 is a plan view,

Fig. 2 is an end view,

Fig. 3 is a transverse section,

Fig. 4 is a plan view with one of the side receptacles shown in the openposition, and having a razor therein, also with the respective closuremembers removed from one end of the barrels and a razor handle partiallywithdrawn from one of said barrels and a tube of shaving cream partiallywithdrawn from the other barrel,

Fig. 5 is a side view of the razor hand e,

Fig. 6 is a central, longitudinal section of said handle, and

Fig. '7 a side view of a tube of shaving cream indicating the manner inwhich a closure member for the end of a barrel also forms a closuremember for said tube.

In detail, the construction shown in said drawings is substantially asfollows:

An organization which comprises a body as 1. has two relativelyparallel, tubular chambers 2, 3, extending longitudinally through thesame; either one or both ends of said chambers are provided with areadilyreniovablc closure member as 4 and 5.

Said organization also embodies two receptacles 6 and '7, one of whichis adapted to the reception or" a razor head as 8, which is of thewell-known Gillette type; the other of said receptacles is adapted tothe reception of a package, as 9, of razor blades.

Each of said receptacles 6 and 7 is provided with a lid 10 and 11, andeach of said lids is preferably provided with a diagonal oint-line, as12, where the end walls of the lid contact with the end walls of itsrespective receptacle; this diagonally disposed joint-line being for thepurpose or" forming a low front wall for each receptacle, so as toafford more ready access to the content thereof.

One of the bar els, either 2 or 3, is adapted for the reception of thehandle 13 for the razor head 8, and the other barrel is adapted for thereception of a tube 14 of shaving cream. The cap 5 or" said tube 14 isso adapted that it forms a closure for its respective barrel (2 or 3) aswell as for said tube. Other novel features of said tube 14 are clearlyset forth in my co-pendinq application Serial No. 125,245, filed July27, 1926 for dental compacts.

In order to increase the storage capacity of my improved compact, thediameter of the razor handle 13 is increased somewhat and is madetubular, so that the bore 16 thereof may contain a styptic pencil; saidbore is provided with a rcadily-removablc closure 17.

I claim the following:

In a shaving compact, an organization comprising in combination, aplurality of tubular, relatively parallel containers, closure membersfor the ends of the bores of said containers whereby they are adapted tocarry shaving accessories, receptacles cmbodied in said organizationupon opposite sides of and in like lateral relation to each said tubularcontainers, and hinged closure members for said receptacles whereby theyare adapted to carry additional shaving accessories supplementary tothose carried in said tubular containers; one of said accessories itselfbeing formed into a container whereby it is adapted to carry anadditional shaving accessory.

In testimony whereof I alliX my signature.
